I did just install a Cam an i called the guy installed the Cam an he said it was probably the lifters gone bad? So any help or suggestions would be very helpful I have a video on my phone but cant upload it from my phone. I can email to someone if they can help put it up THANKS!!!

Are you still running the stock lifters? Happened to me and it was a collapsed lifter and ended up ruining my camshaft as well.

Shop had to take off the hears and replaced the cam and installed LS7 lifters...

pull the valve cover and see if you broke a spring.

Gtoslo88- Yes stock lifters didn't replace them.
Raven02TA- Ya I will look into it but I have been babying the car can't see that happening but maybe so! I will see about taking the valve covers off
